Easy Hinge Fun Fold Card You’ll Want to Make for Every Occasion! (Video)

If you love cards that look fancy but are surprisingly easy to make, you’re going to LOVE this Hinge Fun Fold! 💜

Today I’m sharing a sweet thank-you card featuring the Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper, Creative Haven Dies, and the Banner Sayings Stamp Set — the same products we’re using in the December Cultivated Creativity DIY Papercrafting Kit. This fun fold is quick, cute, and totally customizable for any hobby or interest.

Whether someone loves sewing, plants, crafting, or collecting cozy things, you can easily switch out the patterned paper and ephemera to match their personality. It’s one of the reasons I adore this suite — it makes handmade cards feel extra personal.

Why You’ll Want to Re-Create This Card

This Hinge Fun Fold gives you:

• A unique layout that stands out without being complicated
• A great way to showcase your favorite Designer Series Papers (DSP)
• A design that works for ANY occasion
• The perfect base for mixing and matching ephemera
• A fun interactive style your friends and family will love

If you’ve ever wanted a card that looks impressive but doesn’t take forever, this one checks all the boxes!

We start with a Petal Pink card base, add soft layers of Basic Beige cardstock, and then bring in the beautiful prints from the Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper.

For the hinge panel, we use the Creative Haven Dies to cut a lovely arch window that frames your focal point beautifully.

On my original version, I used the sewing-themed patterns along with the dress form from the ephemera page in the DSP pack. During the video, I switched to the plant prints to show just how easy it is to tailor this fun fold to anyone’s interests — a HUGE win when you want your handmade cards to feel thoughtful and personal.

The sentiment layer uses the Banner Sayings Stamp Set, punched with the coordinating Banner Punch and embellished with a sweet white twine bow and Antique Pearls.

Inside the card, the design continues with a coordinating strip of paper, a stamped greeting, and another small ephemera accent. Simple but so polished!

I’m sure you agree…papercrafting can bring so much joy. Whether you use it for stress relief, to share your creativity, or have meaningful cards and gifts always at your fingertips, papercrafting has value that goes far beyond the projects.

There’s so much we can give our attention to and spend our time doing today, but what if you had something at your fingertips that allows you to create memories and express yourself instead of watching Netflix? That’s where our paper crafting kits come in!
